Hi LynneSo far as I can tell it looks genuine - here is a picture of my copy of this weight so you can compareIt is worth remembering if Whitefrriars made a trial weight they never put a signature cane in so possibly this was one - or they just forgot to put the cane inIf you can handle the weight it should have the typical Whitefriars button in the base.Dave

As stated the butterfly mosaic cane is spot on. What I would say though is that the canes are very striking. COmpared to Dave's example- and butterfly and other mosaic weights that I have which have fairly "boring" standard canes these are quite striking, and may well have been a trial setting. Certainly I have not seen a mosaic with vivid canes like this. This may mean it is quite late.

Lovely weight.

I know some things about paperweights but I wasn't aware that Whitefriars didn't include the cane in them all, that's one of the many reasons I participate in the GMB - to learn things I didn't know. BTW Christine and Lynne, I have a canalware wooden spoon!
